Add Search and Replace Functionality to the Power Query Advanced Editor

[Adolfo_Socorro]

People end up constantly copying the code to Notepad to search for and replace text.

The Advanced Editor is very limited, I find myself copying the code to something like Notepad++, use find and replace and copy the code back.

The ability to use CTRL + F to find words in Advanced Editor of Power Query to improve ease of editing complex queries.

Absolutely needed this the other day. I was coming back to a report which gets updated yearly. I needed to search through some hairy functions for a particular reference that may or may nit have been there. This would have helped out a lot.

When opening the advanced editor in power query window, it is often necessary to copy the whole text into an editor like Notepad++ or Visual Studio only to search for specific word or pattern. Please provide search function to the Advanced editor.

Thanks.

Agreed! Better yet I wish there were a search button in the Power Query ribbon to search every Power Query. Search and replace to replace all mentions of a column in all queries or replace all mentions of a database name with a parameter would be awesome.

Add a "find and replace" functionality to the Power Query Advanced editor. These way it is easier to find columns you have used in the past or find a specific part of your code.
